Satellite Symposium
Satellite Symposium at ZEB UMI: Bridging between model and non-model animals
The use of traditional animal models may have been considered to be straightforward for novel scientific discoveries. However, with the advent of interdisciplinary/advanced approaches, the opportunities for the use of non-model organisms have become increasingly accessible. After the main congress, this symposium in Ushimado, a "Japanese Aegean Sea" resort, will bring together a limited number of international experts working with a range of model and non-model species, to create new research bridges, focusing on adaptations, behaviors and metabolisms not only in vertebrates, but also invertebrates. With novel approaches becoming readily available, the objective is to foster discussions and lay the framework for collaborations in a relaxed atmosphere at Ushimado Marine Institute (UMI), and will inspire researchers with unprecedented seamless information. The UMI is newly renovated as the first academic "Net Zero-Energy building (ZEB)" in Japan.

Satellite Symposium at HU: Long noncoding RNA regulation of spermatogenesis: A part of symposium 5
This satellite symposium is a part of the symposium entitled “New frontier in the regulation of spermatogenesis by hormones and long noncoding RNAs” held in ICCE19. Spermatogenesis is regulated by complicated molecular mechanisms involving hormones and various intracellular molecules. In the symposium, we invite researchers working on testicular steroid hormones, germ cells, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and discuss the recent progress in the regulation of spermatogenesis. Here, to further discuss the role of lncRNAs in the testis, we invite another energetic researcher of a mouse testis lncRNA, Gm2044, which is one of the most studied testis lncRNAs and regulates the expression of spermatogenetic genes. This extends the knowledge of the regulation of spermatogenesis.
| Speaker | Dr. Meng Liang (Division of Biotechnology, School of Life Sciences, Bengbu Medical University, People's Republic of China) |
